out of dope

[Gundy]

Yep....the rear diff was DRY! I noticed some slight roaring in the 40's rear.
Not bad mind you and it does have the ol noisy locker.
So today I decide to check the rear end dope. Yikes! Dry as a bone.
Guess I should check more frequently than once every 10 years or so.
Seems no harm no foul however. Now it is back to no roar...just a clankie
popping locker.
Tomorrow the tranny/tranfer gets it's 10 year checkup...just to be safe.

I've had that happen a few times in college. Never again. Learned my lesson the hard way and will never be out of the stuff for the rest of my life. I usually have it stashed in glass mason jars in the garage.

What a waste of a good mason jar. Like the Stones say " Sitting in a bar sippin' inna jar in Jackson."
"And o' that grievous sun it sure does shine." Fiddle playing in the background. Let it bleed...baby!
One day we's gonna open a mason jar here at the Cabin. That or pull a cork.


Side note. The tranny in Miss B takes 30wt but to check the level or add oil ya gotta pull the radio.
BTDT too.
